Io is a cutter, one of three moira born sisters with the power of The Fates. Her sister Thais has the power of Clotho, she can spin threads and create feelings of love and trust where none existed before, her sister Ava has the power of Lachesis, to stretch and shorten threads to change how one feels about something they're threaded to, and Io herself has the power of Atropos, to cut the threads that bind us to the things we love and to life itself. When women with severed life threads start popping up all over the city and taking lives in the name of retribution, Io is brought in to solve the case, and forced to partner with the one man she can barely breathe around, the one who's incomprehensibly tied to her by a thread of fate. As she tracks these murderers, who seem to be victims themselves, she finds that everyone has secrets, especially the people we love.
I loved this. Kika gave us Greek and Egyptian mythology; amazing queer and cultural rep; fated mates; a compelling protagonist; and a tense magical magical sisterhood that I couldn’t help but get invested in. This was like Percy Jackson meets Lore meets House of Hollow. And the cliffhanger?! This is me begging for book 2 even though this one isn’t even out yet 😭
